gbrumfiel writes "James Cameron has released the first batch of scientific results from his historic dive in March to bottom of the Mariana trench and an earlier series of test dives in the New Britain Trench. The Mariana Trench dive was the deepest by a human since 1960. Some of the most interesting results came from trips to the seafloor made by robotic vehicles built by Cameron's team. At the bottom of the trench, one of those robots found bizarre carpets of microbes coating rocks, that scientists say may have implications for the origins of life on Earth and other planets."

I found both Reverse Cowgirl and A Scause for Applause to be pretty good as well. Cartman Finds Love was pretty good, and Cash for Gold wasn't too bad either, although I can understand that one isn't for everyone. I've also heard that Going Native is a hell of lot more funny if you actually live in Hawaii. Really the only episode that I didn't care for at all was Faith Hilling. The rest were just par for the course.

Compared to the last season, this one has a had a lot of good episodes.

When the obvious thing to ask whether he found or not, would be an alien race of water weirds, and if you think he went specifically to retrieve something, well, that would clearly be the nukes out of a downed US sub.

Can't it just be "it was really neat down there and we found some awesome new bugs"? Does it always have to have implications for the origins of life on earth and other planets?" Stupid press release writers. Come'on - it's the frickin' Marriana Trench. You don't have to draw "deeper" implications.

Even at the very bottom of the ocean, he still couldn't find any character development or 2 dimensional characters in Avatar. I guess no matter where or how you look at it, they're still cartoonishly cliche walking stereotypes like "mister mean military man" and "super serious manager lady" and "do no wrong hero hippie guy."
